Many cases of melanomas showed strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Several malignant carcinoids, prostate and ovarian cancers displayed weak to moderate positivity. Remaining cancer tissues were generally negative.
A majority of cancers were weakly stained or negative. Moderate to strong positivity was observed in lymphomas. Prostate cancers showed distinctly stained tumor stroma.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
NCK2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
NCKbeta
Description
NCK adaptor protein 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the NCK family of adaptor proteins. The protein contains three SH3 domains and one SH2 domain. The protein has no known catalytic function but has been shown to bind and recruit various proteins involved in the regulation of receptor protein tyrosine kinases. It is through these regulatory activities that this protein is believed to be involved in cytoskeletal reorganization. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
